Chapter 122: Send Zhang Dongyang to Jiangdong Province
Chu Yanwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of dangerous dragon power diffused out, silently falling on Zhou Tianfu.
But Zhou Tianfu didn't seem to be aware of it, and still had a resolute attitude, "Your Majesty, Xiao Chen has already caused public anger in the previous incident of the Great Rite Temple, if Your Majesty can't make a decision early today, I'm afraid that once this matter comes out tomorrow, many colleagues in the court will definitely have some arguments!" ”
"The old minister really doesn't want to see His Majesty be wise, but he is dragged down by such a thief, so he has the courage to admonish and beg His Majesty to kill Xiao Chen and correct discipline!"
If it weren't for what Prime Minister Zhou Cheng said, it would definitely be a good story of loyal ministers.
But at this time, Chu Yanwu just narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled casually in his eyes, "Aiqing, it's just a Dongchang Governor, and a slave, you are like this, right?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
Zhou Tianfu wanted to say more, but he heard a little eunuch outside the door, "Lord Fang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Li, the waiter of the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial Doctor of the Imperial Palace...... Lord Zhang, the head of the household department, and others, asked to see His Majesty. ”
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the rescuers he moved were coming, but before this breath fell, Zhou Tianfu heard Zhang Dongyang's name, and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
Why did he come too?
Regarding today's admonition, I don't know that Zhang Dongyang knows.
Chu Yanwu glanced at Zhou Tianfu with a complicated expression, a sneer hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand slightly proudly.
Chen Jin immediately whipped up the dust and "announced ......"
Soon, more than a dozen ministers and Zhang Dongyang entered the imperial study.
After Fang Yi stood up and gave a salute, several ministers of Zhou Tianfu's faction opened their mouths to admonish.
Everyone said that they heard Xiao Chen's actions in Jiangdong Dao Academy from various places, and they all accused Xiao Chen of being too arrogant, which not only lost the face of the imperial court, but also was not conducive to the cultivation of talents in Dachu.
"Your Majesty, this person's crimes are too numerous to mention, but I am afraid that if this continues, it will be unknown if the Li River is stained with blood!"
"Your Majesty, you sent him out to raise the prestige of the court and announce His Majesty's grace, but he did something to disgrace the court and neglected your cultivation and long'en in vain!"
Ministers, every word you say to me, all Xiao Chen's sins.
Chu Yanwu listened, a pair of dragon eyes gradually became gloomy, his voice was cold, and he asked majestically: "Everyone, then do you know why Xiao Chen wants to do something to Jingnan Academy?" ”
Everyone was slightly stunned, and they raised their eyes slightly in confusion to look at Chu Yanwu quietly, and then they all lowered their heads cautiously, and couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts.
How did you hear the emperor's meaning, he actually wanted to protect Xiao Chen?
"Your Majesty, no matter what reason Xiao Chen has, he can't kill in the name of Qincha."
At the critical moment, it was Zhou Tianfu who stood up and said in a deep voice, intending to turn the tide.
Chu Yanwu's slightly narrowed eyes sank a little, and Long Wei escaped majestically, "Then with the intention of the prime minister, even if someone offends Yu Me, he should forgive himself?" ”
Zhou Tianfu's body froze slightly, but immediately, he quickly returned to normal, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you are mighty, and the people of Dachu have no disrespect or love for you." ”
"Presumably, Lord Xiao must be as clever as usual this time, and he wrote to His Majesty first, wanting to push the sin to the academy?"
"Your Majesty Mingjian, although the minister is not familiar with several academies in Jiangdong Province, he has always known that scholars are the most respectful of the Son of Heaven!"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Xiao Chen's reversal of black and white!"
When the words fell, several other ministers couldn't help but stand on Zhou Tianfu's side, although they were all respectful, but the words of advice were one after another, and for a while, Chu Yanwu was invisibly put in the position of the faint king.
It seems that as long as Chu Yanwu does not agree to execute Xiao Chen, he will be mediocre.
Chu Yanwu sat upright on the dragon chair as usual, and the pair of powerful hands hidden under the wide dragon robe were already slightly clenched.
"Enough!" Chu Yanwu scolded, and looked at everyone coldly, "With your intentions, if I sit on the dragon platform, I can't even tell who is loyal and who is traitor?" ”
"Chen Jin."
"The minions are here!"
Chu Yan Wuwu said in a deep voice, "You go and take out the annual tribute book of Fengzhou, and I will show you all the Qing family now, who is disrespectful to me, and who is reversing black and white!" ”
In fact, as early as when Chen Jin reported it, Chu Yanwu already knew in his heart that Xiao Chen said in his book that Jingnan Academy disrespected the Son of Heaven.
The most obvious is the annual tribute of the states, although the local officials everywhere loot the local gentry, but also the best expression of the local people's will.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there are many academies in Fengzhou, if these academies really respect the Son of Heaven and obey the jurisdiction of the imperial court, then how can there never be anything related to the academy classics in the folk treasures that the prefect of Fengzhou pays tribute to every year?
Zhou Tianfu's face turned pale suddenly, and he didn't need to say it explicitly, but he naturally understood the truth.
I didn't expect that this time it really made Xiao Chen's crooked hit right, and he happened to be caught by Chu Yanwu!
Several other ministers also lost their voices in an instant, and this time His Majesty was rarely so angry, which shows the importance attached to this matter.
But there are still people who have won a lot of scalp, in order to please Zhou Tianfu, Nie Nuo said: "Regardless of whether there is a difference in Jiangdong Dao Academy, as a Qincha, it should show Your Majesty's leniency." ”
"After all, Lord Xiao is just a eunuch of the East Factory, how can he wash these students in blood for His Majesty?"
Before the words fell, a sneer sounded among the ministers, Zhang Dongyang took a big step forward and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the Qin Cha should inspect the upper and lower ......."
"And there are generals who are not subject to foreign military orders, Your Majesty is lenient, and if you don't want to, you will punish these bold and arrogant students, but Lord Xiao has a loyal heart, raises the prestige of my court, and straightens His Majesty Longsu, but it is not wrong!"
"Colleagues, then this official may ask, if you find that someone disrespects Your Majesty and despises the court, do you want to ignore it?"
As he spoke, Zhang Dongyang looked coldly at the many Zhou Tianfu's subordinates present, and finally, his eyes fell on Zhou Tianfu and smiled slightly, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" ”
Zhou Tianfu's face was gloomy, and a pair of eagle-like eyes slowly narrowed, but this time, Zhang Dongyang took him into an army.
In any case, he could not refute this question.
For a long time, Zhou Tianfu could only snort coldly, and flicked the sleeves of his robe, which meant that he didn't care about Zhang Dongyang in general.
A look of satisfaction gradually appeared in Chu Yanwu's dragon eyes, and his voice softened a little, "Okay, this matter is just a mess made by some useless academy students, so there is no need to discuss it anymore." ”
"However, what Zhu Qing said today did remind me. Anyway, it's not a matter for those students to leave it alone, so in this way, Zhang Qing, you can go to Jiangdong Road as soon as possible and clean up this mess. ”
Zhang Dongyang's eyes moved slightly, a touch of confidence and certainty appeared in his eyes, and he responded solemnly: "Yes!" ”
If you can go to Gangdong Road, then this time, at a time when the academies are in turmoil, you may be able to use this to subdue the students and use them for your own use.
